I just wanna play the DLC man.
Listen, this game is perfect. It nails atmosphere, storytelling, world building, challenging and fun combat, and a list of fantastic bosses. The fact that I played this game via PS Now on my PC and I still rate it this way should say a lot. This game NEEDS a remaster and port to PC. It's simply not fair that people haven't gotten to play this. Also the PS Now version didn't include the Old Hunters DLC so...gimme gimme.

This was not my first Fallout experience, but it is probably my favorite overall. It's really difficult to pick a favorite between Fallout, Fallout 2, and New Vegas. However, I've always found myself drawn towards the first game for a multitude of reasons. The first is I believe the first Fallout has the best overall story and progression of any of the games. While there's not a plentitude of factions like in New Vegas, there are still many different choices to be made that will greatly impact the sort of ending you get in this game. I also feel that the main antagonist in this game is the most unique and interesting one's I have ever seen, Fallout or otherwise. While it definitely doesn't feel as smooth to play anymore, this game is a true classic, and deserves the time of day for any RPG or CRPG fan. If you've never played either of the two CRPG Fallout games, I would definitely give them a chance.

This is still and probably will always be my favorite game ever created. Majora's Mask isn't just the perfect Zelda game, I would argue it is a perfect game generally. I could gush about this game forever, so I'll just cover the reason's I love this game so much in basic form. This game has one of the most unique, terrifying, and interesting world's I have ever played in. From the bustling streets of Clock Town to the swamp's of the Deku Palace to the graveyard that is Ikana Canyon. This game nails atmosphere so perfectly. The moon will fall on Termina in 3 days and kill everybody, and the characters you find in this game all seem to have a different reaction to it. The denial of the mayor and lead worker, to the despair and fear of the master swordsman, cowering in a corner crying to himself because he realizes he's about to die. The theme's of each area in this game are also fantastic, and best experience yourself. Above all Majora's Mask has the best side content in any of the Zelda titles. Each temple is a masterfully crafted, with the Stone Tower Temple being the greatest achievement the dungeon team has ever created. Please give this game a go, even if the three day mechanic scares you. You may just find that you love it as much as I do.

I write this review with multiplayer in mind, preferably with friends. This game solo would more than likely receive a lower score.
Holy shit man, this is by far the best of these types of co-op horror games out there. It is hard to remember the amount of consistent fun I have had with a game like this. In fact, I don't think I ever have. Something like Phasmaphobia is fun for the first couple of hours, but I have around 15 hours logged of this game with my friends, and we're still having a blast. Please check this game out, it is both hilarious and horrifying. Best experienced if you and your friends go in completely blind. I'm really excited to see what the dev(s) of this game have in store for the future.

Wow this game is a hot mess, but I kinda like it....I can fix her....
Dark Souls 2 was my first Fromsoftware game, and to be honest for a while it was at the top of my list. However, after playing some of the other games the developers have made, I can't really in good faith write a great review of the game when Smelter Demon exists. Jokes aside, this game has fantastic world building, and I really digged most of the lore associated with this game. However I cannot deny the facts. The ADP stat is just plain stupid, and while there are some really good bosses in here, most of them are real stinkers. I've heard great things about the PvP in this game, but I have never been into PvP in these games. Overall, I enjoy it and think that it is a better game than the first, but not nearly as much as I did before, and it certainly has many faults. The DLC's are all fire though.

Sekiro was a game I was a little scared to play at first, but I am really glad I did. A lot of people warned me about how absurdly hard this game is, but I found myself enjoying it quite a bit. The combat of this game is incredibly satisfying, and even when I was getting my ass kicked I was still having a good time. Some of the bosses have also made themselves my favorite across the Fromsoft games. I'm also a sucker for Japanese history and folklore, so that aspect of the game really drew me in as well. My only tip: don't play this game with a shitty Xbox One controller.
Stop licking the walls to track the monster, what the hell.
This game simply asks too much of what I want out of a game right now. It seems like it has a lot going for it, but I simply don't have the desire to grind monsters for upgrades. I also get extremely frustrated by the combat in this game for whatever reason. Maybe this is a Fromsoft game thing where I need to let it sit on the shelf, and try it again someday.

I'm afraid.....I may never play a game of this caliber again.
Wow, wow, wow. This was a game that I have been told to play for a very long time. I played Red Dead Redemption 1 a loooong time ago on my 360, and I remember really enjoying it. However, I was always too busy with other games to sit down and play 2. I'm so incredibly glad I finally decided to sit down and play this masterpiece, and I don't use that word lightly. This game hits all points I love in a game in such a great way: world, real feeling characters, compelling story, and fun gameplay. It really is all there, but I want to make a specific point on how great the characters are. Arthur Morgan may be the single greatest protagonist I have encountered in gaming. I've never encountered a character who felt so incredibly real and human. From his journal, the random grunts or things he quietly says to himself, and of course the impactful moments he has. This character truly is a treasure. I was afraid to play this game for so long because I remember John Marston being such a great character. I still love John, but Arthur Morgan IS that guy. I pity anyone who doesn't play as high honor Arthur, because it was such a treat to play and watch.
Another great character I didn't expect to enjoy watching so much was Dutch Van Der Linde himself. I have vague memory's of Dutch from RDR1, but from what I remember he is sort of just the big bad of the game, and while he has some individuality in that game, this game really does the justice of how he ends up the way he does. Countless times playing this game I was bouncing back and forth between "he's always been unhinged" and "times are changing him". It really is masterclass character writing. I have such a higher appreciation for the character now, and I hope one day I can replay RDR1 with this game now in my brain.
Please give this game a chance, it really is such an experience and something special. The game is a slooooow burn at first. It may take some time for it to hook you, but give it the chance to. Once it hooked me, it was all over. I promise you will start to look at games differently after you experience Red Dead Redemption 2.

"Keep going, keep going, your good your good....annnnd stop! Don't worry Captain, we'll buff out those scratches!" -my internal monologue after ramming my spaceship into a planet at mach 10.
This game is AMAZING. I really don't wanna say anything about it. Please play this game completely blind. It is a masterpiece.

I still believe that Team Fortress 2 is the greatest casual hero shooter to ever exist. I just wish Valve felt the same way. If you've never tried this game before, give it a go. I promise you'll have a great time.

The Darks Souls of Dark Souls games.
To be honest I don't have a lot to say about this game that hasn't been said already. The first half of this game is simply incredible. The way you navigate places from Firelink is really interesting, and finding the shortcuts back is pretty fun. The bosses up until Ornstein and Smough are mostly pretty good to decent. My gripe is what most people have an issue with, the second half of the game. Barring how obviously bad the Demon Ruins, or whatever the place is called, the game just feels like it takes a bit of a nosedive in terms of quality. Most of the second half bosses are pretty forgettable to me, besides the final boss just because he has a cool soundtrack.
That being said, the DLC slaps. Absolutely loved most everything about the DLC.

Divinity Original Sin 3: Preview Edition
Jokes aside, this game is fantastic. This was my first true experience with Dungeon's and Dragon's, and I would say it left a pretty good impression. The customization and opportunities in this game are insane. Want to be an overpowered wizard and cast insane spells? Want to be a big scary man whose main attack is throwing random garbage at people? Want to be Brittany Spears that roasts people to death? All of these and more are possible in this game. BG3 probably has one of the most in depth and customizable character creation's I have ever seen. When people say they spend hours making their character, it's possible they're not joking. The world and character's in this game are pretty fascinating. Most of the companion's (sorry Gale) are extremely compelling with their own unique backstories and quirks. The main story is mostly fine, and falls apart a little towards the end, but it's serviceable enough. There is TON'S of side content to do in this game and a lot of it is fantastic. Most of my favorite side content happens in Act 3, and you really have to look for it as it can be easily missed. The only thing I can criticize this game for is something that is out of the developers hands; the 5e rulebook. I believe that Larian nailed combat and character building in their previous game, Divinity Original Sin 2. I think this could be the GOTY easily if you combined these two games into one. I definitely would give BG3 a try, even if turn based rpg's aren't your thing.
